Ambassador David B. Cornstein is pleased to announce that the U.S. Government’s successful Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) program is now accepting applications from Hungarian high school students for scholarships to study in an American high school for one year.

The Hungarian government and U.S. oil and gas company ExxonMobil concluded a strategic partnership agreement in Budapest on Friday. ExxonMobil will thus play an important role in shaping Hungary’s future, said Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó.

Hungary has moved up five spots to 47th place in this yearʼs IMD World Competitiveness Ranking. Hungaryʼs competitiveness was boosted in part by a reduction in corporate taxes and growth in overall productivity, IMD said.

The Entrendeurs Budapest 3.0 educational and mentorprogram provides support for talented and creative young foreigners living in Hungary to implement their entrepreneurial plans. The program that was organized for the 3rd time this year contributed to the implementation of numerous innovative entrepreneurial ideas.

The opposition LMP party has blamed the government for Hungarian living standards falling behind other countries in the region. Erzsébet Schmuck, LMP’s deputy group leader, cited Eurostat figures at a press conference held on Tuesday, saying that Hungary’s consumption stood at 63 percent of the European Union average.

It is Hungary’s best interest to keep relations as tight as possible between the United Kingdom and the European Union after the Brexit, Minister for National Economy Mihály Varga said after having received EU Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier in the Hungarian Parliament.

There are as many as 15,000 homeless people in Hungary. Of these, some 4,000 are sleeping rough, according to a survey conducted by Hungarian NGO Menhely Alapitvány (Shelter Foundation), index.hu reports. Roughly one-third of them are in Budapest.
